I’ve taken this quiz before; last time, I got Arlington, VA as one possibility. This time around, I got DC as a possibility. In both cases, the quiz had me pegged within about 20 miles, since I’m from Alexandria.

Pinpointed my birthplace. Pinpointed a city my 1820s maternal grandparents appeared in a census record. Pretty close – within a two-hour drive – of the city my 1840s paternal grandparents appeared on a census.

First question admittedly I clicked a word form I never used myself – but my kin did – my parents moved me while an infant to a USMC base in CA.

It put me in Wisconsin or Minnesota, primarily based on one word choice, Kitty-corner. A lot of my choices were all blue, so they didn’t have a lot to work with. The red options were all over the country.

I got Washington DC, Arlington, VA, and Durham, NC – moved around a lot, but never lived in any of these places and have no relatives from these locations either. Of course, I did drop my native PA “yous guys” and adopted y’all after years of living in the South.

Dear Henry,
A decade or so ago, I uttered a phrase that convinced my family that I am a Southern redneck and fit in perfectly in The Deep South. I told my husband, “I already done did it!” I do say, “all y’all” too. I’ve lived in The South many years, lol
